missed day 19 - so slow that sun and moon came and went. Stupendous night last night - full moon, clear sky and crystal smooth seas. flew the spinnaker in very light winds - more for show than sailing progress. Hoping for the full moon wind phenomena - as the moon pull increases so does the wind speed (also known as the Sunnyside effect). Didn't happen - as in the Odyssey - the contrary winds were stored in the bag never to be opened but with the caption tied to the mast to hear the voice of the sirens the crew opened the bag of contrary winds and didn't return to their home port for three years. Not wanting to take this chance with my crew and the local winds I decided to motor the last fifty miles. Oh contraire.
Daiquiris at noon in st lucia.
